MISS TANzANDT AND HER HERO.
She Thinks Spies the Equal of Kossuth, and
Would Marry Him on the Gallows.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 18-The reports sent out
from this city that Mrs. John Arthur and her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were seriously
Frustrated and very i'll on account of the refusal
of Miss Nina Vanzandt, their granddaughter. of
Chicago. to break of her marriage engagement
with August Spies, are greatly exaggerated. Re-
porters were refused admittance to the palatial
residences of Mrs. Arthur and Mr. Clarke, but
an intimate friend Of the family stated to- night
that although the family were greatly annoyed
and chagrined. they were in their usual health.
One of Miss Vanzandt's relatives in this city re-
ceived letter to-day from that young lady in
which she says:
II am determined to marry the condem ned
Anarchist if I have to do SO On the scaffoldn
She said that she understood that society in
Plttsburg and elsewhere was greatly shocked at
what it called her disgraceful action. "Would
you call it disgrace in your bygone days she
says. IF you learned that girl who worshpped
true heroism as / do had married Kossuth or
Garlbaldis August Spies is their equal in every
particular, and loved liberty just greatly
they; but, like they he has to suffer from the
oppressor. Did you think Robert Emmett a GRIM
inal because he died on the scaffolds Some did.
1t is the same with August Spies at present He
is called murderer and assassin, but day
he will be looked martyr"
She says that she loves the Chicago Anarchist
with all her heart, and she knows he will never
be executed. She refers to Carl SEIZURE as
who was looked down upon in his own country,
came to this land, and held high positions. 1t is
now the same with Spies. Miss Vanzandt in
closed a photograph of Spies, on which was writ
ten in her own handwriting, "a cruel country's
martyr but my hero"
Mr.. and Mrs. F. T. Lust, of Oakland. also
near relatives Of Miss Vanzandt. say they never
thought that lady capable of committing such
an outrageously foolish act and now disclaim all
relationship to her.
Miss Vanzandts grandparents, MIR. and Mrs.
Clarke are both over eighty years of age, and
feel what they term tho disgrace" very keenly.

insane department of the county court, and after
inquiring for the clerk, discovered their mistake
and were directed to the proper Office accom-
panied by the smiles of the officials of the in
sane department.. When Miss Vanzandt called
upon Spies at the Jail. this morning. she found
him in conversation with Miss E. Constance
Lock. who lives in Calumet avenue. and who is
said to have taken interest in the fate of
Spies.

day that the matter came before me officially
This afternoon Captain Black called At ms Office.
The marriage license had just been obtained He
requested that permission be given for the oceu-
pancv of the insane courtroom during

the Jail Then l said that public sentiment was
opposed to the marriage and that / did not
think those who aided abetted in it would be
blameess; that the public ,ooked upon the pro-
posed marriage as disgraceful affair. and that
the camor against it would increase. Cap
tain Black said that Thursday morning
